Residing in Honolulu
SATURDAY AUG 17 1901
AH EXTBA SESSION
We have heard a great deal for
and against an extra sqrbiod of the
Legislature The following dis
patch simply shows the absolute
necessity of calling an extra session
and pass measures providing for the
raising of money Should the
numerous governors now in control
u reiuse to uu so we iuiujs mm goou
h reasons arise for their removal The
dispatoh reads
Washington August 8 It de
veloped today that the Governor of
Hawaii has twice proposed the issue
of bonds to effect needed public im
provements The Secretary of the
Interior on both occasions deolined
to entertain the plan Governor
Dole first requested on June 4th the
approval of the President for a pro
posed issue of an unstated amount
of so called Hawaiian treasury notes
under Act 79 of the provisional Ha
waiian Government a part of the
civil laws of Hawaii in 1897 The
objeot was to procure a temporary
loan to replenish the Territorial
treasury Secretary Hitohcook re
plied that the faot that the amount
was neither stated nor estimated
was of itself a sufficient objection
The Governor had enclosed an
opinion of the Territorial Attorney
General which the Secretary in
his reply declining to take up the
plan says does not directly express
the opinion that the proposed in
debtedneos can be lawfully incurred
under existing laws He inclosed a
certified copy of Aot 71 of the laws
of 1896 providing for a loan of 2-
000000 and statements of the
Treasurer showing that there re
main unissued bonds amounting to
799000 authorized by the act that
the asseised value of the Territory
is 97094104 and that the nut-
Standing bonded indebtedness aftr
payment will be 910000 The
Governor then recommends the is
suance of territorial bonds for 799
000 chargeable on the general re
venues of the Territory but not on
the credit of the publio domain to
be redeemable in not less than five
years payable in not more than
fifteen years from date of iBsue pro
vided that the Territorial Legisla
ture shall pass the necessary appro
priating bill providing for the ex
penditures set forth in seotion 55 in
the territorial aot
The Secretary of the Interior in
his latest reply says that new legis
lation is indispensable to the bond
ed issue and that the Governor has
not indioated that suoh legislation
has been had nor can it safely be
anticipated
We reiterate what we have said in
former issuoB aB to the timo of call
ing an extra session and that is al
low time for all members of the
Legislature to cool down and meet
Bay at the end of September To
fight the taxpayers would prove dis
astrous to Dole and Cooper Meet
them half way and everything will
be all right A wireless telegram
will recall Colonel Mazuma and
things will go as smoothly as ever
TOPICS OF THE DAY
Is it really naoeasary to ask peo
ple who desire to apply for positions
under the nivil servioe of the United
States a lot of questions absolute
ly irrevelant to the work expeoted
to be performed by them A man
may be a very good and honest mail
oarrier without knowing much of
the geography pertaining to Spain
or Greece We have known of
efficient officials in the Custom
HouBfl who had forgotten the first
rules of higher algebra and didnt
know a logarithim from a stove
And yet the work went on to the
satisfaction of all concerned We
have no doubt that the Board of
Examiners is composed of the
wisest men in the world and yet
we are willing to bet that we could
ask the learned gentlemen more
questions in regard to oivil ser
vice than any one of them can
answer until an Enoyolopedia has
been consulted The civil service
examination is humbug pure and
simple
The lenient punishment meeted
out to sailors who deserted their
posts in time of peril and wh
deserted their ship when at fire has
been a surprise to all who know
Judge Estee and considered him a
judge of great merits and noble sen
timents The Bryant was on fire
and four sailors basely left her
when their help was needed We
leave the question of arson aside
but we think that the men should
have been given the maximum of
the penalty prescribed by law
Judge Estee however seemed to
sympathize with the wretches and
sentenced Hanson and Forst to six
ty days imprisonment each and
Sohraeder to three months and
Reed to thirty days What would
Mr Estee have said when through
the neglect and refusal to work of
these men the vessels in port the
docks and merchandise stored had
been burnt
GORBESPONDENOE
Advico on Kissing
Ed Tub Independent
The papers Bay the Bord of
Health haB put a tabu on the haole
custom of kissing with the lipa
The Bord Bay to use carbolio water
sweet with rose smell to disinfect
before and after kissing I think
til too bid it willspoil the kiss
kisiiog must be sudden or it is no
good Still the Bord Bays kissing is
dangerous and as our kahunas do
in old times put condition tabu
on it
Now Wakea the Ancestor of all
kanakas made many rules for the
people The old man knew a thing
or two and he laid down a rule thai
lovers should rub noses and not
smaok on the lips when kissing
If young people will rub noses and
not smaok the lips when kissing
it will save the worry about carry
ing carbolio water to disinfect the
kiss with and you dont mhisyour
good time when you have not your
carbolio water
Yours for good of all
